Just remove feign death, hunter pet lust, tranq shot and your turtle shell. Problem solved.
why are you assuming i play a hunter. i main shadow priest.
It wasn’t just the class utility. They created a monster scenario where you had blatantly overtuned classes running rampant for a month straight. People flocked to these classes simply because they outperformed everyone else.
Fire Mages and Holy Paladins have already been nerfed 3-4 times since the patch came out. It’s also why warcraftlogs separates weeks 1-4 of the patch with everything else.
This is why the RPG elements are dead.
Priest has had all of those things for years at minimum to the whole life of the game and priest has been meta two times: now with shadow, and at the end of SL with holy. The holy situation was purely the result of being overtuned.
So
Has literally never been good enough to make priest meta. This season was the first time, and it was entirely due to the nature of the dungeons this season and shadow being overtuned early.

they found a way around it. But now instead of any Bear it has to now be a Nelf Bear. Every other bear is a decline
I don’t even play priest. This makes me want to not play. I am having trouble logging on anyway. Instead of fixing things in your DUNGEONS this late in the game and making it where the routes people have ran all along could be ran by MORE classes, you just nerfed priests…again. It’s not priests fault that you do bad dungeon design. They have had utility all along because you LET them. But honestly? Messing with things this late in the season is just bad form. Buff other classes or nerf content but the people who were pushing have already pushed during the big two week OP push weeks you left in-and now the rest of us have scraps always. I don’t even play this content much, but I play with passionate friends and we talk about it. The company is so different now than it used to be and not in a good way.
Instead of making changes that feel good, everything just feels bad anymore as you try to fix things that should have been fixed the first week of a season.

so did this hotfix actually go live?
were you planning on making an official statement regarding this hotfix or did you just want to let people enter keys with priests, unaware of your hotfix, then proceed to fail the timer because they didn’t re-route since they had no idea priests couldn’t mind soothe certain mobs anymore?

What? Shared PI has made them instant meta. Fort is a hands-down must-bring for higher keys.
Shadow has always been ultra-meta on bursting weeks. Now they’re ultra-meta on bursting, entangled, and afflicted weeks… The week they were non-meta (exploding) has been removed…
It’s not like they’re going to somehow be less meta just because the instance portal location changes. The M+ mods aren’t going to shift anytime soon, and sPriest dominate the entire M+ mod pool.
LOL classic blizzard, nerf something but make a new problem to go with it.
Tell me you’ve never played priest without telling me you’ve never played priest.
They uh…
Fixed the glitch.

I mean, they did. It’s in the hotfix notes updated Aug 22. That’s about as official as they do with hotfixes.
My priest alt is unironically higher ilvl than yours.
Tell me you don’t understand meta viability without telling me you don’t understand meta viability.
That wouldn’t be hard to do given I stopped running more than a key a week almost two months ago, and it’s even easier to claim with an alt on a hidden profile. Regardless, the data is out there - even when priest was so strong it got nerfed every patch, it never had enough representation in M+ to be meta.
There’s a difference between what is playable and what people like to have. Priest has never been something people like to have despite all the stuff you listed until this season.
Yeah, the data is out there. 33% of all DPS classes receiving a title this season is Priest.
You’re just butt-pulling random nonsense. Priest has been hard-meta since DF launch.
Priests have many problems, so us having a MD is fair. Every other healing class has more externals and cds to deal w/ a lot of other stuff. We need our utils.
Df season 1 it was good but it was one of many DPS specs in the widest general meta we’ve ever had. Prior to that though?

The one time Shadow Priests became meta for M+ for one season…
I’m sorry, but that makes me laugh.
I played Holy in SL S1 and S2 and they were ranked C and D-tier like they are now. S3 they got a +10% dps/hps buff due to under performance and they became a FOTM because the world first guilds stacked them in the race.
Prior to S3 I had to listen to people saying Holy was garbage and then overnight its the greatest healer in the game.
Player perspective drives things more than anything.
